Dividing the Ocean.

The suggestion Of Capt. Bartlett, chief
OF tho United States photographic Office,
that an International convention be
called for the purpose Of assigning differ.
cnt portions of the ocean to each mari
time nation. will probably be favorably
considered by congress. It is believed
that this would prevent casualties at sea
BY ships running into floating dcrelicts;
Capt. Bartlett says in his report: ..Each
nation would patrol its own portion of
the ocean for the purpose Of towing in or
destroying all obstacles. Frequent ro.
ports arc received Of ships running into
these derelicts, and the number lost from
this cause may bc considerable. If ship
masters lelt that every attempt was being
made by civilized governments to clear
the oean Of these dangers, their ankle
ties. which arc sufficiently great from
purely natural causes. would be mate
rally relieved. Boston Budget.

WHY BOILERS EXPLODE.

A Boiler Inspector Explains Ills Theory
and Tells How to Avoid Danger.
Mr.. Carroll drew q diagram of boiler
head in outline upon the table. '.It's
like this, he proceeded to explain slowly
and deliberately: ''Herc's the water limo
in this boiler" and he drew a mark
across the circle.
''Now it is the opinion Of boiler men
and other experts that the danger from
minute flaws and assures in the shell of
the boiler lies below the water line and
not above it.. But I have reached tho
conclusion that from these little flaws
that go undetectcd upon the most minute
examination, the entire danger is entirely
above the water line. Now. mark you,
| have found from long and careful OBJ
scrvation that from IS to so per cent. of
all boiler explosions occur ut about Z
O'Clock IN the morning or about the time
when the engine is being started up.
And that most, if not wholly. the bal
ance OF the percentage happen at the
starting time in the afternoon. Every
locomotive blows mp, YOU will perceive,
at about tho time it is leaving the depot.
| was surprised at the discovery of all
this, inasmuch as at the starting time in
the morning boilers have no more than
about scvcnty-fivc pounds pressure of
steam. That is not enough to explode.
may say, the most defective Of shells.
''Then thought it ont and came to the
conclusion that all of the danger Law
above the water line and from the minute
fissures and p,,nctures in the shell. 1t is
in this way: When tfe boiler is shut
down after a day S work, the col.t!cnss,-
tlon forms 4 vacuum: but through the
little chinks and leaks above the water
line the air r,lshes in. In the morning.
when the boiler is fired up and steam
generated to seventy five pounds. this air
cannot DC elected as rapidly as the
vacuum forces it in. There is then il,
the boiler GO per cent. of water and 40
per cent. of air. The first revolution
thoroughly mixed the water and the air,
and at scvcnty-five pounds pressure the
air Is expanded with great force. and at
this first revolution the boiler exploded.
''To remedy this every engineer in
Detroit Is instructed. before starting his
fire. to pull his safety valve wide open
until steam is teen to como, through and
then shut the valve door and 90 on.
Boilers used for agricultural purposes
are very liable to explode in consequence
OF taking water from barrel through
neglect OF seeing to it that the barrel is
kept full. If the barrel is kept full MI
would be well, but it is allowed to be.
come cmpteor partly SO. and then the
pumps suck air. and when the air is in
and fully expanded tho boiler must

his excuse that De Young hal circulated

In Mavch, 1881, young kalloch was tried
and acquitted; the audience in the court
room cheered the verdict, and crowd of
the mayors supporters unhitched the
horses from the young mans carriage and
drew it to his home, a distance of three
miles. In the meantime Gustavus De
Young, the third brother, had become in
sane; Michael II. De Young therefore be-
came sole proprietor of The Chronicle,
and maintained the war against various
classes of capitalists. Finally, ON the
afternoon of Nov. 10, 1884, he was shot
by Adolph Sprcckels, son of Claus
Spreckels, the Hawaiian sugar king"
After long illness he recovered.
His severe experience had a subduing
effect upon Mayor Kalloch. He with

NINE. AND ROYAL La TOCCTE.
nlias Ware, etc., who promised a return
of 500 month On an investment of
$500. How many she swindled can only
be conjectured, as the victims are too
timid to come into court; but when the
police made descent on her office, at
1Go West Twenty third street, New York,
recently, they found abundant evidence
that she wns doing rushing business"
Tho complainant against Nine. La
Touche, Mrs. Clara Johnson, is timid
little widow, who had invested" $3.50
with the madame; and when the two
women appeared in the jefferson Market
police court, n stranger might have con-
cluded that Nine. La Touche was the pros
ecuting witness and Mrs. Johnson on trial
for her life. But she mustered courage
and told her story, and the police easily
supplemented it with their records, show
ing that the accused had been a swindler
and confidence woman for seventeen
years, during which time she hnd
had three husbands. two of whom
had died rather suddenly, while the
third, Royal La Touche, appeared ut the
trial and stood bravoly by his wife. His
career is not SO well known, but it shows
that he has been in various ''crooked''
transactions, and is q fitting husband for
such wife. Another curious fact shown
by the police is that many years ago, in
St John, \. b., Nine. La Touches father,
Jacob Grass, was her confederate in
swindle, and that he testified against her
to save himself. The jury, however, were
so disguised by this proceeding that they
acquitted her.

those familiar with the events as they
occurred can scarcely believe in the
summary. DR.. Kulloch himself appears
to have been q humane and fairly honest
man, as he certainly was very
bold and talented one, but he had
plenty of faults the manifestation
of which, beginning in Boston
and extending to Kansas and California,
involved his whole life in shadows and
in miscries." His attempted assassination
by Charles De Young, of The San Fran
cisco Chronicle, the killing of De Young
the next year by Or. Kalloch's son, the
final shooting of Michael De Young by the
son Of Claus Spreckels, the relentless war
on monopolies by the De Youngs and the

told slightly off color story with a good
relish and was notably fond of ladies'
society.

The local session acquitted him, but a
large section Of the public outside of Dos

he found church doors closed against him.

brave in advocating his political views,
and took an active part in local politics.
